The latest media double-standard was on display Wednesday night as ABC’s World News Tonight ran a full report dubbed “an ABC News investigation” into news that former President George W. Bush charged a speaking fee to appear before a veterans charity while having neglecting to have done a similar report digging into the millions made in speaking fees by Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Chief investigative correspondent Brian Ross ruled that while “lots of people have donated their time and money” to the veterans charity Helping a Hero, he declared that former President George W. Bush was not one of those people because he “charged the charity $100,000 as speaking fee to appear at its annual fundraising gala in 2012, plus private jet travel that cost the charity $20,000.”
